Last weekend I bought a frag of Montipora spongodes. Looked healthy for a few days, but today I'm noticing the tissue appears to be flaking/sloughing off. I'm pretty new to stony corals, but am having no other noticable problems with the few other montis and lps species I have in there, besides a superman monti turning losing its blue coloration.
On my phone so haven't had a chance to search a ton, but any advice on what may be causing this tissue loss would be appreciated. The frag is about half way down my tank right now in moderate flow.
75 g mixed reef, 5 bulb T5 with new bulbs, salinity and ph normal, nitrates and phosphates nears 0. Calcium, magnesium, and alk a little low...an ongoing battle to get those up.
Thanks,
Justin
